It'd be more accurate since I'm neither black (the hip-hop markets association with the word "urban") nor did I live in an urban area until recently.

I scored a 185 lbs clean and press today at the gym. Cleaned it up from a hang and it felt pretty heavy, but I pulled it so high I didn't need to dip down much to get under it. Once I had it lined up for the press, I knew I could make the weight but it wasn't easy to lock it out. But I locked it high and held it for a while feeling good, then put it down with no trouble at all.

BW was 178 at the time, and I foat around 175 but I had literally just eaten a cheat meal.

Tuesday I did 5x5 bench with 195, 185, 190, 185, 185 which was silly but I didn't have a spotter and I was riding that line between knowing when I might fail, but also trying to put the most on the bar I could manage. I bet I could 1rm 205 now with no problem, my goal is 225 ASAP.

This is my 2nd week lifting in 2 years so, I'm happy (as long as I'm not mentioning my squats).

Damn fine work, Fight_Song!

Front squat PRs today: 90 kg x 3, 95 kg x 1

 

[Gavin LeFever]

do you cross crop of use the clean grip on front squats?

 

[Feature boy]

Clean grip.

 

[SmashiusClay]

Way above legal depth? No. High? Yes.

You're 4-6 inches above parallel, round here we only count squats where the lifter breaks parallel, that's still a lot of weight to be shifting around, but any PLing fed where that passes needs a beating.

Fight_song - use a clean grip if you can, if you can't try using a pair of straps wrapped round the bar and then hold onto them, this way you don't have to have quite the same level of flexibility (I've got a a FUBAR wrist and this trick has really helped me recently).

Everyone else - good work, very nice pressing from Fatso.

I finally hit 3 plates on deadlift which tied my friend PR. This was a 10 pound gain, then I realized that it would be 10 times better to break his PR with another PR. so i threw on another 10 and tried but failed the first time. Then gave it 3 minutes, went balls to the wall and hit it. Everything went red, and i had sparklers in my eyes, and i couldnt walk straight or even stand up. But i smashed that fucking PR. Old PR was 305, new one is now 325!!!

Iv only been deadlifting for just over a month, so i thought this was good, i might add it was sumo, if that means any difference to you. My buddy has been deaflifting for about 6 months, so it felt good.

 

[Tayon]

Nice pulling, keepup the good work, Tbay!!!

2" axle clean and press - 210 x 3... ridiculously eeeaaasy. I should be good for 230 - 240 if I work on hitting a new max for a few weeks.

Niiiiice.

I'm just still trying to figure out the technique for atlas stones. :redface:

I know the theory behind it. But putting it into practice is tough right now.
